The Garratt Family posted a condolence
Wednesday, August 26, 2015
Condolences to both the Quick and Fuller families on their recent loss of Constance. Several members of the Garratt family enjoyed a couple of opportunities to meet (then) Miss. Fuller several decades ago in the early Fifties. Firstly, in our Sunday School & Place of Worship and briefly later at the Fuller family home. Furthermore, our subsequent community teen group held the utmost of respect for Miss. Fuller and the entire Fuller family, who always showed interest and care toward our young activities. In fact, Miss. Fuller's brother David (and his colleagues) became our adult leadership and a much appreciated mentor for several impressionable years. Most of us lost contact over these many, many, years but we all likely will never forgot the positive contributions of the Fuller family to our lives. Once again, our sincere condolences are extended to both the Quick and Fuller families on this occasion.

To Mr. Edison Quick and Family, For every life has a purpose to fill, a purpose which us humans can seldom infer. But she was a gift from heaven, whose purpose was to make this world understand what love, friendship, goodness, and humbleness was all about. Goodness belongs to heaven, and I know she is watching us from there, bestowing her beautiful smile upon us. May her soul rest in peace. On my personal behalf and staff and Management of Nisbet Lodge. We will miss you Constance.

It was a privilege to be part of Con's large class of Primary School Specialists back in 1957-8, and to later come to know both Con and Ed as neighbours and friends. The teaching profession is the poorer for her departure. John and I send our deep sympathy to Ed and the family.9

I came upon the Globe and Mail Obituary yesterday and was so moved to receive information about Constance Fuller. Many years ago I was one of her students in the Primary School Specialist program at Toronto Teachers College, graduating in 1960. I have never forgotten how wonderful she was. Sadly, I did not know of the 50th anniversary reunion of her former students. I would have loved to to tell her in person what a truly remarkable a teacher she was, and how important she was to me. She clearly led a very full and interesting life since then. As a sailer and boater myself, I was very interested to read about her similar devotion to the water. I send gratitude and condolences to her family.

I also was a student in the Primary Specialist program in 1974. My classes with Con Fuller were the highlight of my year. She taught us to respect ourselves and our honourable profession, but also to look for every opportunity to connect with and acknowledge each child in our care. Thank you for your deep and lasting influence! I have thought of you many times in my 30 years in classrooms with the young ones.

Our condolences to the Quick family on Con's passing. We met Con through Ed, who we met during a municipal political campaign. From there it went on to a number of social occasions where we enjoyed good food and drink, and delightful conversations (including stories about early Ontario history). They are fond memories we will not forget.

I was a student of Miss Fuller's in the Primary School Specialist course in 1961. In my eyes, Miss Fuller was the epitome of grace, sophistication and professionalism. She held the craft of teaching in the highest regard and passed that respect and responsibility on to us, her students. Every day, she would share quotations from well-known writers, poets, educators and thinkers: she entitled these quotations "Words of Wisdom." We collected these in the very front pages of our binders. There is one quotation that resonated with me and inspired my 30 years of teaching young children. It is this: "Opening out a way for the imprisoned splendour to escape rather than effecting entrance for a light supposed to be without."Elizabeth Barrett Browning. I feel very privileged to have studied under Miss. Fuller: her influence carries on in the students we taught. My deepest condolences to the family.
